See the Difference
"The Centers’ Learning Assistant Program placed three of my top students from the previous year in the classroom with me to facilitate small-group, problem-solving exercises and it transformed the class. Students were engaged, they asked questions, and did considerably better on exams. Many cited the learning assistants and group exercises as their favorite part of the course. It was also the most fun I've ever had teaching!”
